January 21: Getting Trade Ready in 2025: Strategies to Navigate Tariff Impacts

Under the incoming second Trump administration, the United States is expected to adopt a more protectionist trade policy, increasing tariffs on imports, particularly from China. This shift from the previous free trade goals of G20 nations will very likely lead to higher costs for businesses and consumers due to widespread tariffs and new taxation challenges. 
Companies must develop strategies now to minimize the impacts of expected increased tariffs and duties to remain competitive in the evolving trade environment.
Cozen O'Connor Attorneys Heather Marx, Tom Wallrich, and Kristi Zentner will discuss key strategies businesses can already use to plan for and address tariff costs, including:
  • Supply chain diversification
  • Utilizing trade agreements
  • Drawback programs
  • Product classification review
  • Use of the First Sale rule
  • Incorporating tariff management in pricing strategy
  • Monitoring policy changes.

March 19: Evaluating Hospital Procedures for Authorizing Emergency Abortion

All states that have banned or restricted abortion after the Supreme Court’s decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health offer some exception for abortions that are medically necessary to save a patient’s life during an emergency. However, the internal procedures for reviewing and approving requests for emergency abortion vary dramatically from institution to institution. In some hospitals, the treating physician can make this judgment on their own; in others, an ethics committee must review the decision; in others, hospital counsel may impose limits on physicians’ authority to terminate pregnancy.
 Prof. Sawicki will offer insights as to how well each of these decision-making procedures balance patient safety, clinical standards of care, medical ethics and legal risk, with the goal of encouraging hospital attorneys and health care providers to thoughtfully select approaches that best meet their patients’ needs.

In 2020, Prof. Sawicki was elected as a member of the American Law Institute. She has previously served as a member of the American Bar Association’s Special Committee on Bioethics and the Law, and co-chair of the American Society for Bioethics and Humanities’ Law Affinity Group.
Prior to joining Loyola, Prof. Sawicki held the inaugural George Sharswood Fellowship at the University of Pennsylvania Law School, where she taught bioethics and public health law. She has also served as a lecturer in History and Sociology of Science at the University of Pennsylvania's School of Arts and Sciences, practiced law with Wolf, Block, Schorr & Solis-Cohen, and clerked for the Honorable J.
